# FlipaClip vs Flipbook3D

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FlipaClip at 67% against Flipbook3D's 0%. FlipaClip also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (270K vs 1). Flipbook3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FlipaClip sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Flipbook3D sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlipaClip has 270K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
